Arkansas was again facing severe weather, with thunderstorms and possible tornadoes pummeling most of the state Monday.

A tornado on the ground has been reported by several witnesses in Hot Springs.

The storms left thousands without power across the state, including more than 4,000 in central Arkansas’ Garland County, according to estimates from Entergy Arkansas, the state’s largest electric utility.

Possible rotation has been spotted in Menifee and near Toad Suck, close to Conway.

Witnesses say a tornado has done damage in Jessieville.

A suspected tornado tore through a wooded area of Polk County, while residents in the northwest part of the state contended with flooded roads. In northeast Arkansas, several rivers left their banks, flooding mainly farmland but prompting City Hall in Hardy to evacuate ahead of the Spring River’s crest.

As evening approached, the National Weather Service issued a number of tornado warnings across Arkansas as a line of big storms worked eastward across the state.

Deputies in Polk County found downed and twisted trees near the tiny communities of Board Camp and Big Fork, a sheriff’s dispatcher said. One home had been crushed by a tree and deputies checked to see if anyone was inside, but the damage mainly went through timberland.

Damage from either a tornado or strong winds was reported in Garland County. A motor home was knocked over on its side on Ragweed Valley Road. Limbs had fallen on Powell Road, Oates Loop and Brady Mountain Road.

About 20 miles northeast of Fayetteville, historic War Eagle Mill had flooded, as had an access road to the working grist mill. The first mill was built on the site in 1832 and the present version is the fourth to have been built there. In 1848, the mill was washed away in a flood.

The potentially dangerous storms could produce tornadoes and flash flooding.

Washington County has issued a disaster declaration because of damage caused by flooding.

County Judge Marilyn Edwards issued the declaration Monday based on damage from flooding last week. The declaration notes that more heavy rain is expected and with it, more flooding.

The declaration can help the county get aid to fix roads and other infrastructure.

A spokesman for Gov. Mike Beebe said it was too early for the state to make any emergency declarations, though a number of counties had already done so, based on the rains of the previous days. Beebe spokesman Matt DeCample said the state is in an unusual position because the forecast for Tuesday called for more strong storms and heavy rains, which could delay assessment of Monday’s damage.

State police in Springdale say Monday’s rains have brought flash flooding but not many traffic accidents.

Forecasters are predicting that the storms will last through Wednesday, with the first system ramping up Monday evening and a second one moving across central Arkansas in the overnight hours of Tuesday.

The Little Rock sales tax meeting has been canceled because of the weather.

In Hardy, homes along the Spring River were evacuated and Mayor Nina Thornton says floodwaters were expected to reach City Hall, so workers were evacuating there, too.

“We just got back in after the last flood,” Thornton said.

The homes along the flood prone Spring River are mainly vacation homes that are elevated on pilings, though the floodwaters predicted to reach their doorsteps, Thornton said. The city began moving people out on Sunday and the effort continued Monday morning. Thornton said flood waters covered the roads along the river, so no one could get back into the area by midmorning.

The river was forecast to crest Tuesday at 21 feet, which would be enough to put six inches of water in City Hall, Thornton said. The mayor says the city has flood insurance for the building.

In 2008, the Spring River crested at 22 feet, which flooded the Old Town district and City Hall. The weather service considers an 18 foot crest on the Spring River as a “life-threatening situation.”

Nearby at Ravenden Springs, flood waters from the Eleven Point River covered roadways and low-lying fields.

The Black River reached flood stage of 14 feet on Sunday, with a projected Tuesday crest of 29 feet, which will flood state highways and other roads in Black Rock, Jacksonport and Powhattan. Croplands also will flood.

The Buffalo National River is forecast to crest at 29 feet at St. Joe, which will bring flood waters to camp sites at Tyler Bend, a popular point for launching canoes and kayaks on the scenic waterway.

At Van Buren in far western Arkansas, the Arkansas River reached flood stage of 22 feet Monday, with a crest of 25 feet forecast Tuesday, which will result in flooding of agricultural lands.

A severe thunderstorm in southwest Arkansas on Monday morning prompted a tornado warning and knocked down utility poles near DeGray Lake along Arkansas Highway 7.

The National Weather Service said Monday that a storm system in the southern Plains would move toward Arkansas, touching off the next round of severe thunderstorms in late afternoon and evening.

Another storm system is forecast to reach Arkansas on Tuesday, bringing more severe weather, with some areas getting 3 to 6 inches of rain. That will be on top of as much as 10 inches of rain that some parts of northwest Arkansas got over the past several days.

The weather service said flash flood warnings are likely to be posted for numerous areas as the storm systems move through.

Rain is forecast to continue into Wednesday, after which a couple of days of calm weather are to follow.

Tornadoes from a storm system on April 15 left seven people dead across the state, and several other severe weather events have been felt since.
